Minor change to Locations.xml.aspx

We have deployed a small change to the Locations.xml.aspx endpoint to Tranquility. It will no longer give a 135 error when some of the itemIDs being queried are invalid or not owned by the keyholder, instead those itemIDs are simply not included in the resulting rowset. This also implies that you may very well get an empty rowset now. This change...
